Chapter One: This time Around
Just as the last art buyer was walking out of the Blake's mansion, Sarah's mobile rings. She looks at the caller ID, and she's surprised to see its Sam.
"Sam, hey, I would've never of expected it to be you calling! I'm surprised actually, and pleased" she tells him, she hadn't seen or heard from Sam Winchester in over a year, she was surprised he still had her number.
"I can't get a word in around you can I?" Sam joked.
"Well im sorry Mr Winchester, but what would a fine guy such as yourself have the pleasure of saying to a girl like me?" she started to flirt with him, flirting with Sam came so easily, that's why she could sense that they were right for each other from the beginning, even if Sam wasn't ready for a girlfriend back then.
"I was gonna say "I'm in town, can I come see you?" But I guess I shouldn't right?" Sam always joked, that was his sick sense of humour as Dean always said, Dean took that to his advantage when the timing was right.
"No, no, no, oh my god you're in town!! Oh my god!! Yes, yes, yes come and see me, oh my god!!" Sarah almost squealed like a teenage girl at her favourite band's concert.
"Sarah, are you ok?" Sam asked concerned because she wasn't saying anything
"Yeah Sam, im great, how are you?"
Sam chuckled.
"Do you want me to come over and see you or not? Because by the sound of it you're obviously busy"
"Sorry, yes, yes come over"
"Thankyou. And should I bring anything?"
"Uh.. Unless you own a supermarket, just bring yourself"
"Ok see you soon" and he hung up before Sarah got a chance to say anything else.
"Ok, see you soo.." she stops short, she realises Sam has hung up. "Sam?" there was no answer. "Damn it! He hung up on me!"
Meanwhile back at the Winchester brother's motel room
Sam's packing a duffle bag to take over to Sarah's with some clothes and a few other items in it.
"And where do you think you're going?" asks Dean, sharpening a hunting knife.
"None of your business" Sam replies.
"Seriously Sam, where are you going?" that was Dean's idiosyncrasy; being an annoying, pestering older brother, he did it so well, it was natural to him.
"I said don't worry, you're just gonna make fun of me" Sam told him.
"Oh you're going to your girlfriend's aren't you, Sarah?"
Sam shot Dean a glance as if to say, push me any further and your dead!
Dean knew what that meant.
"That's my boy!" he says.
"See that's exactly why I don't tell you! See ya" Sam zips up his duffle bag, swings it over his shoulder and starts to walk out the door.
"Hey Sammy, Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Dean yells after him.
"Dean, there's nothing you wouldn't do!" closing the motel room door after him, he leaves, taking the Impala just to piss Dean off.
Dean tells himself "That's true" And goes back to sharpening his weapons.
It was mid- afternoon when Sam arrived at the Blake mansion. He gets out of the Impala and walks up to the front door. He's about to knock when he hears a voice up above him. He looks up and sees Sarah standing on the balcony looking down at him.
"Sarah" he says, the only word he could utter because he was struck by her beauty, by the reddish- brown colour her hair turned in the warm sunlight; he was mesmerized.
They share each other's gaze for a mille-second then Sam breaks up the moment.
"What are you doing up there?" he says finally, clearing his throat "Aren't you gonna let me in?"
"Maybe, or I could stand up here and stare at you all day" again with the flirting.
"So what's it gonna be? Coz I'd really like to kiss you again you know, and I can't do that when you're standing up there now can I?" Sam tells her, now it was Sam's turn to flirt.
"I'm coming" Sarah replied with a smile. She runs down the stairs and opens the front door for Sam.
The door opens and Sam and Sarah just stand there for a moment as if they're taking each other in, then, as if by second nature, Sarah jumps into Sam's arms and kisses him. He spins her around and shuts the door behind him and as the door clicks shut Mr Blake, Sarah's father clears his throat to try and get their attention, and Sam and Sarah stop and turn around to face him.
"Dad, you.. You scared me" Sarah says.
"Sarah, who's your friend?" asked Daniel Blake.
"Oh sorry, Dad, you remember Sam Winchester right? He rescued me from that creepy haunted painting?" she says with a wink at Sam.
"Yes I remember Mr Winchester, I thought you're name was Connors?"
"Oh no, that was just an Alias. You see, with what my brother and I do, it has some real risks, so we need to use other names. But I'm not a fake I promise, my name really is Sam Winchester, I'd never lie to Sarah" Sam felt so awkward in front of Daniel Blake, since their last meeting didn't go according to plan.
"That's good. Now Sarah, you know I'll be away all weekend so you'll have to man the fort and if anyone wants to buy anything just tell them they'll have to ring me first ok" he tells his daughter. The two were close since Sarah's mother passed away, they were all each other had, and Sarah felt she could empathise with Sam in that way; they had both lost their mothers.
"Ok Daddy. I'm fine Dad, I've got it all under control" Sarah tells her father.
"And if I find you and Mr.."
"It's Sam" Sam tells Mr Blake.
"Sam, right. If I find you and Sam have been getting into trouble I'll be right back ok?"
"Dad, you have nothing to worry about, I'm 23 and so is Sam, I'm not a little girl anymore"
"I know, but you're my little girl"
"Dad!" Blushing "Just go ok, I'm fine, Sam will take good care of me, you have nothing to worry about"
"Ok bye" Kisses Sarah on her forehead "Bye Sam"
"Bye Sir. Have fun" says Sam.
And Mr Blake leaves for the weekend.
"So"
"So"
"So, what do you wanna do?" Sam asks.
"Ok well we've got 3 options, 1. I cook you dinner and we watch a movie, 2.I cook you dinner, we eat and u go back to your motel room, OR 3. I cook you dinner, we eat, watch a movie, then go upstairs and make out and that'll lead to you spending the night. So what'll it be?"
"Well I've packed an overnight bag, so go figure" Sam tells her.
"So number three" She comes closer to him and puts her arms around him, brushes the hair out of his eyes and kisses him, then takes off his jacket and chucks it out of the way.
Sam then takes Sarah's shirt off, she's in her bra. They keep kissing and Sarah goes to unbutton Sam's flannelette shirt when Sam stops her
"What's wrong?" Sarah asks him.
"Nothing. It's just, I thought we were gonna eat first then do this upstairs?"
"We are, just shut up and kiss me"
Sam goes ahead and kisses her and this time lets her take off his flannelette shirt and his t-shirt as well. They lay down on the couch in the lounge room near a big old wood fireplace.
A little while later Sam and Sarah are still lying on the couch in each other's arms
"You know, I can't believe you're here" Sarah tells him.
"Really?"
"Yes really" she gets up and lies right on top of him and stares into his eyes, stroking his hair and face and chest. "Can I tell you something?"
"Yeah sure, you know you can tell me anything" he strokes her hair as well.
"I love you" she tells him.
"Really?" asks Sam, pausing for a second.
"Yes, really. I've been in love with you from the beginning, I just.. I didn't wanna rush it for you, you're not over your girlfriend, it would've been wrong"
"No it's ok, Jess would've wanted me to be happy, that's why I came back and kissed you"
"Well, as long as it's not too soon"
"Hey I'd tell you if it was ok" he tells her.
"Ok"
"I love you too" Sam says.
Sarah smiles and kisses him passionately but is disrupted by Sam's growling stomach.
"Sorry. I guess we forgot about part of our agenda for tonight" he says, staring at his abdomen.
"Come on" she says with a giggle and gets up and slips her jeans back on.
Sam gets up too and puts his white t-shirt back on.
"So what are you cooking for me Sarah Blake?" Sam asks, flirting with her.
"Oh my specialty Sam Winchester" she replies, giving him a cheeky smile and walks into the kitchen, Sam follows her at close proximity.
"What's your specialty?" he followed her like a little puppy followed its owner or mother.
"It's a surprise" she tells him, stealing a kiss as she walked past. Sam sat down on a kitchen bench stool.
"Oh come on!" he protested.
"Now Sam, if I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?"
"I suppose not" just at that very moment as with perfect timing his call phone rings. He looks at the caller ID, no surprise, it's Dean. "Hi Dean, yes I'm fine"
"Sammy, how's it goin? Get any action yet?" Dean asks im that pestering sibling way.
"Like I'm telling you that!"
"Oh so you have! That's my boy!" That was a typical Dean Winchester remark.
"So what have you been getting up to without me?" Sam asked his older brother.
"I was just at the bar earlier, met this hot girl"
"Typical" He hears a girl's voice giggle in the background. "Hey you didn't pick this girl up by any chance and take her back to our motel room?"
"Maybe" he teased.
"Dean!"
"What! She's hot ok!"
"That's no excuse Dean; I'm paying for this one! Hey you better not be on my bed!"
"Hey no offence man, but that sounds like something only a mother would say. I think you've been spending too much time around your girl"
"Hey you're the one who told me to hook up with her!"
"Anyway, I better go, I've gotta get back to.. to what I was doing. See you tomorrow Romeo"
"Yeah, bye" Sam says to him and switches off his phone. No more interruptions.
"So, what did he want?" stirring something in the wok.
"Nothing. He was just ringing to check up on me. I'm not a frickin' kid anymore!
"Oh he's just being a brother, no harm in that is there?"
"No, but he won't frickin' leave me alone about this!"
"About what?" Sarah asked him.
"This, us, you and me"
"Oh. So what was that about he was the one who told you to hook up with someone? Who did he mean?"
"Oh, he meant me hooking up with you, he told me to go for it"
"And did you?"
Well I'm here now aren't I?"
"Yeah, I guess you are. I'm so glad you are, Sam" She said, walking towards Sam seducingly.
"Yeah, me too" Sam says.
Sarah puts her arms around Sam and they start making out in the kitchen. Things start getting a bit hot and heavy and Sam pushes Sarah up against the kitchen bench and she takes off his shirt again. But just as they're really getting into it the smoke alarm goes off and Sarah realises she forgot all about the dinner she was cooking for Sam.
"Oh shit, the dinner!" She runs over and turns the stove off, and waves a tea towel in front of the smoke detectors.
"Is it burnt?"
"Yeah, a little. Oh my god im so sorry"
"No it's ok, why don't we just get take out or go out for dinner?"
"Are you sure? Coz I was really gonna make this special for us. It's all ruined now"
"Hey, it is special ok, it doesn't matter if we eat shit" Sarah laughs through her tears. "It'll still be special. All that matters is that you and I are here together spending time with each other. That's all I care about". He tells her.
"Really?" she asks, wiping away her tears.
"Yes absolutely. I love you ok"
"I love you too Sam"
And Sam bends down and kisses Sarah passionately just like their first kiss.
"Let's eat out ok" Sam suggests.
"Ok"
"Um.. one problem"
"What's that?" Sarah asks.
"I didn't bring anything formal to wear"
"That's ok; I wasn't planning on taking you to a five star restaurant or anything"
"Aren't I supposed to be taking you out?" Sam asks.
"If you wanna do it the old fashioned way, you're such a dork Sam" Sarah says with a laugh.
"Hey!" Sam protests.
Sarah hugs him.
"Let me just put something on ok" At that moment he only had his boxers on and Sarah still had her arms around his neck. "And you might need to let go of me just for a moment ok"
"Oh, ok" she makes a seducingly sad face "I'll just go and put on a sexy dress for you"
"Ok. And I'll just get ready here. See you in a moment"
She mouths "ok" and blows Sam a kiss.
Sam catches it and puts it to his heart. Sarah smiles and walks upstairs.
